14 JULY 2019

Give more time for switch Subhani to electric vehicles ndia’s first ethanol-powered motorcycle was unveiled last week, so too an electric car by an international manufacturer based in India while a new electric scooter also hit the market. Electric vehicles I(EVs) are clearly gaining traction, but not at a rate that could possi- bly meet the overambitious conversion target set by Niti Aayog, which said most recently that 2023 and 2025 should be the cut-off dates for three- wheelers and two-wheelers under 150 cc to go electric. The sum total of all the initiatives towards switching to electric mobility solutions amount to less than one per cent of vehicles on Indian roads now. While the absolute transition cut-off date of 2030 sounds ambitious even for such a highly evolved industry as the Indian automobile industry, the deadline sought for the less powered three- and two-wheelers appears far too sharp. The proposed dates will be thrown open for discussion; even so, it is clear that automobiles are being targeted as major urban polluters. The tax incentive proposals for EVs contained in the Budget were not that substantive as to see customers queue up.
